Additionally, the premise is based on faulty logic. The media likes democrats, the democrats win an election, therefore the media reports rosy economics. You could attribute the change in coverage to any number of things. One that comes to mind is the fact that no major US cities were leveled by hurricanes this year. Even if you assume the current retail market is equivalent to last year's, the big story of summer and fall 2005 would have flavored the covereage nonetheless. Of course, we're also taking at face value Mary Katharine Ham's selection of sources and reports. Surely she would show no bias in that. It's a blog after all, which is a much more reliable source of information than the pinko leftist mainstream media. Two data points (#1: 2005; #2 2006) do not constitute a trend.

At least that's kinda how the LA Pravda-Times reported it... I think MKH can show off those new jeans she bought whilst wearing a UT t-shirt... When is she paying off the bet?

I think MKH can show off those new jeans she bought whilst wearing a UT t-shirt…
